coating. Sapphire is a very scratchproof material, however, we want to note
that despite exceptional durability and firmness, it may still crack or break if
hit too hard. The glass should be immediately replaced in such case, because
even the smallest crack may cause dust getting into the movement, which
will lead to breakage.
The watch cases are moist proof, they protect the movements from rain or
high humidity. However, these watches are not meant for wearing in saunas,
steam rooms, swimming pools. Do not wear your watch when swimming. Even
short term dip in the water may cause damage. In case water gets inside the
watch, you need to take it to the nearest SOKOLOV customer service center
(see Section «Warranty Liability»).
While using or storing your watch, avoid contact with strong chemicals. They
may cause deterioration of the watch exterior, as well as damage the sealing
capacity due to destroying the sealing rings.
Protect your watch from continuous sun exposure, rapid temperature
changes, as well as from sources of powerful electromagnetic fields.
Battery
The battery is installed at the factory of origin. If the watch gets slow, the
date does not change or the second hand does not move evenly (jumps over
one or several marks), this may be a sign the battery needs to be changed.
At first signs of low battery, we recommend you to bring your watch to the
nearest SOKOLOV customer service, where you will be offered qualified
support.
Battery change including the battery itself and the work is provided for
free at the expense of the manufacturing factory during 2 years as from the
purchase.
Watch maintenance
The battery service life and the watch precision may be different from the
ones announced by the manufacturer due to incorrect maintenance or
impact from the following negative factors:
• high and low temperatures;
• severe vibration or shock;
• strong electromagnetic fields.
